Hey smart mama! The year 2020 has given ALL of us the opportunity to see the hate that exists in this world and the racism that is systemic in our institutions.
We are 100% anti-racism and anti-hate in general. We do not support any kind of verbal or physical confrontations on social media or in-person that are aimed at singling out any person or group of people based on their race, gender, religion, or political affiliations. We welcome you here, as you are and we will continue to fight for the freedoms and the equality of ALL smart mamas and their loved ones.
We talked to Lena Gould and Latonya Mims, two CRNA moms who have been tirelessly advocating for diversity within medicine for years. Crystal, Laci, and I learned so much from this discussion and it is the first of many to come - The mamas told us about how they have experienced racism from the time they were young all the way through anesthesia school and into their current careers. Even among Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, New Jersey, New York, Maine, and Rhode Island there is only one program director of color- Dawn Bent at the University of Pennsylvania.
We really dive in deep in this episode and talk about how we can challenge the norm and advocate for people of color, this is a mankind issue and we need to do better!

Hey, Mama!
So excited to have you back! In this episode, we chat with Amanda Nighbert, RD, who has educated so many people with her LEAN system to help them live sustainably healthy lifestyles.
We talk to Amanda about the two pillars of her program: intermittent fasting, or time-restricted eating, and macros.
Rather than counting calories in vs. calories out, she focuses on what your body needs in terms of protein, carbs, and fats! Not all of us are equal!
She talks to us about the SAD diet and why obesity has been rising over the past several decades since the '70s.
-If you wonder what on earth intermittent fasting and carb cycling are? This will break it all down!
-If you suffer from thyroid and adrenal issues or hormonal fluctuations and wonder if intermittent fasting is for you, this will answer your questions.
-If you worry about not having enough time to meal plan or exercise, you definitely want to hear what she has to say about that.
-If your crazy job and schedule have you concerned that you can't incorporate this into your life, you will love hearing her advice (even with those crazy breaks in the OR).
We also cover topics such as breastfeeding, supplements, fueling hard workouts, clean vs. dirty fasting, sugar replacements, and the differences between men and women. Enjoy and don't forget to rate, review, subscribe and share scrub caps and sippy cups!
